AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Had to do it.

That's totally the Eye of the Sheikah upside-down right?

Because a Layton-Zelda mashup has some merit.

I dearly hope the title is in reference to "Imagination Station". One of those childhood giants that inspired me to enjoy art. Also Layton or something I guess...

So. Your avatar matches that pic so well. It must have been on purpose, making you a genius.

The funny thing is that the symbol is from the Layton/Ace Attorney crossover.

Am I doing it right?

Well, that's not exactly the same symbol, it does not have the tear :


You could say it's the former symbol of the Sheikah, we learn from Sheik in the OoT's manga that at the begining, Sheikah's symbol did not have the tear but a tragedy happened (a treason if I remember well) and they added the tear to remember. This fact seems to not be considered canon by Nintendo (I don't know if my sentence is correct, but I think you understood), when we see the timeline and we see the tear in Skyward Sword (on Impa for example).



So in PLvsAA they made an upside down sheikah symbol without the tear, it's the mark of the witch if I remember well, and it can be seen as the great witch's head upside down too... I don't know if that Zelda reference was intensional or not...


Anyway, I completely agree with Katie on this comic, and for me it does not apply only for Point and Click. In RPGs for example, when I know that I must go in that city, I always look everything on the map before. It's a sickness linked to the willing to not miss anything, and it's particularly frustrating in games where there are dumb missables. Fortunately, in Layton's games, you can always visit all the screen agains after completing the game (and it's the same with PLvsAA), and the puzzles you missed are keeped (but it is better to check them yourself, for the dialogue...). I miss approximately one by game... :/

Oh and speaking of PLvsAA edits... (maybe if I try again...)

nothing burns your hash more then accidentally progressing the story before you had the opportunity to look down every empty hallway and dig through every bush

It's even funnier if the game implies something time-sensitive (like a chase or someone in danger), but doesn't actually punish you for how long you take, so you can just faff around and take your time because no worries, I'm sure your ally is capable enough to avoid getting eaten by a monster for another 30 minutes while you make sure you've gotten every last chest and killed every last enemy in the area.

Guess what?

Remember that area right after you fall through the hole in the Witches' Court, with the wagon, before the scene switches to Maya and Layton?

That was one of two areas you were shoved through during the story without being able to search for Hint Coins. Both areas had three Hint Coins. I guarantee you that you missed all 6 of those.

Level 5, you pieces of shit.

I'm not the only one who thought that was the sheikah symbol within the first 5 seconds of reading this comic! Geeky minds think alike?

As for the meandering around during supposedly time-sensitive moments I think my favorite moment out of all the RPGs I've played is in Tales of Graces. A party member stops to brush their teeth while pursued by soldiers if you take enough time to get out of there. If you immediately move through the plot as fast as possible you are doing it WRONG.

It's even funnier in world-endangering scenarios.
